JAMES WAN PRESENTS HOUSE
OF HORRORS
Horror Thriller
Language: English
Director: Javier Gutierrez
Writer: James Wan and Max La Bella
The House of Horror is a horror-thriller
that centres around a gruesome crime
scene. The film is shot with a blend of
found footage, interrogation video, news
cameras and classical cinematography.
The film focuses on the aftermath of a
horrific massacre; five college students,
brutally murdered inside a decrepit,
abandoned home. We are thrown right
into the mix as the lead Detective, Mark
Lewis, and the police department’s
psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein,
question a suspect. The young man at the
centre is John Ascot, bound by handcuffs
in a mobile command station.
During the interrogation, John explains
everything leading up to the deaths of his
friends. We discover that they were
amateur ghost-hunters, seeking out
paranormal phenomenon at the
abandoned house believed to be haunted.
What started out as a harmless activity
turned into something truly terrifying
and more than they ever could bargain
for.
John explains to the police that he isn’t
responsible for his friends’ deaths, but
rather, it was the house. He tells them he
believes the house is a gateway to hell; a
place of concentrated evil.
We slowly witness an eerie change in
John’s demeanour through the course of
the movie. Things take a disturbing turn
when John hints at the notion that he is
possessed by the Devil.

Nasso
Key Cast: Harry Belafonte Sidney
Poitier Huddie W. Ledbette (Ledbelly)
Wonderfully archived, and told with a
remarkable sense of intimacy, visual
style, and musical panache, Susanne
Rostock’s inspiring biographical
documentary, SING YOUR SONG,
surveys the life and times of
singer/actor/activist Harry Belafonte.
From his rise to fame as a singer,
inspired by Paul Robeson, and his
experiences touring a segregated country,
to his provocative crossover into
Hollywood, Belafonte’s groundbreaking
career personifies the American civil
rights movement and impacted many
other social-justice movements. Rostock
reveals Belafonte as a tenacious handson activist, who worked intimately with
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., mobilized
celebrities for social justice, participated
in the struggle against apartheid in South
Africa, and took action to counter gang
violence, prisons, and the incarceration
of youth. Because of his beliefs,
Belafonte drew unwarranted invasions
by the FBI into both his personal life and
career, which led to years of struggle.
But an indomitable sense of optimism
motivates his path even today as he
continues to ask, at 84, "What do we do
now?" His example may very well
inspire you to action.

The first American film produced in the
country of Armenia, Braden King's
HERE is a landscape-obsessed road
movie that chronicles a brief but intense
romantic relationship between an
American satellite-mapping engineer
(Ben Foster) and an expatriate Armenian
photographer (Lubna Azabal), who
impulsively decide to travel together into
uncharted territory. Will's Shepard's
solitary work - land-surveying satellite
images to check for accuracy and resolve
anomalies - is called “ground-truthing”.
He’s been doing it on his own, for years,
all over the world. Gadarine Najarian is a
tough and intriguing art photographer on
her first trip home in ages, passionately
trying to figure out what kind of
relationship - if any - she still has with
her home country and culture. There is
an almost instant, unconscious bond
between these two lone travelers; they
impulsively decide to continue together.
The two become deeply connected as
their sense of themselves - and their
worlds - expands. As their trip comes to
an end, each must deal with the
conclusions to which their journey has
led them – and each must decide where
to go from HERE.

Rotman (Yoni Roshko) Danny Steg
Everything is complicated in Yoni's life:
He's almost 13, really smart, but
physically underdeveloped and struggles
daily to quickly grow into the physique
of a man before his up-coming Bar
Mitzvah. He sells homework in order to
secretly buy a body-building wonder
powder, which so far does nothing, he
stretches every night with heavy weights
tied to his legs and screams with full
force in the wind to deepen his girlish,
unstable voice, which earned him his
nickname – Helium. His classmates, a
year older and two heads taller, bully
him every chance they get and his
parents barely say a word to each other
or, if at all, communicate through him.
As if all this weren't enough - only a
week before the ceremony - his autistic
brother, Tomer, 17, locked away for
years in an institution which has been
shut down, returns home. This shakes up
not only Yoni's life, but the unstable
foundation of the entire family. Being the
only real adult in his family, Yoni ends
up dealing on his own with a brother he
hasn't seen in ten years and who
becomes obsessed with "Noah's Tale".
Perceiving the world a little differently,
Tomer internalizes every word of the
Torah excerpt Yoni will sing during the
ceremony. He starts collecting and
pairing animals, places them in an old
boat in the shed and invents "The
Flood"-game. It is a pretty rough
growing up and growing together for the
entire family as painful truths, mistakes
of the past and sorrows of the present are
confronted. Although his voice hasn't
changed, his height and his muscle mass
have stayed the same Yoni arrives at his
Bar Mitzvah a grown boy. Together with
his father he even manages to create a
magical, almost real flood for his
brother. A flood no one will forget.

Newbold (Leonard) Roger Walker
(Gardener)
An adaptation of Nigel Slater’s best
selling memoir, TOAST is the ultimate
nostalgia trip through everything edible
in 1960’s Britain. Nigel’s Mother was
always a poor cook but her chronic
asthma and addiction to all things canned
isn’t helping. Nigel on the other hand
laps up cookbooks like they are porn,
spending all his time gazing longingly at
the delights on offer in Percy Salts
grocers. As his mother’s illness worsens
so do Nigel’s relations with his father.
The bolognaise he cooks is far too
exotic; the uncooked Fray Bentos pie
MUST be finished; and his father’s rage
as Nigel insists on picking every last bit
of jelly off the tinned ham at the annual
picnic hits an all time high. Just before
Xmas, Nigel’s mother dies, leaving Nigel
and his father heartbroken. His Father
begins to spend his evenings at the
Masonic lodge until a new cleaner, Mrs
Potter, arrives on the scene. Mrs. Potter’s
figure, charms and lemon meringue pies
quickly bewitch Nigel’s father and much
to Nigel’s horror, the three soon embark
on a move to the country. The one silver
lining in the cloud of a new school being
Domestic Science class, through which
Nigel can finally shine and cooking soon
becomes the key weapon in the battle for
Dad’s affections. Ironically, the main
casualty of these culinary skirmishes is
Nigel’s father, as his waistline grows and
grows as Mrs Potter’s cooking turns
obsessive. When Nigel lands a job in the
kitchen of his local pub his eyes are
opened to a world of opportunity, both
culinary and sexually. He soon becomes
smitten with both the new owner’s
cooking and with her son. When his
father dies, Nigel’s mind is set as he
packs a bag for London and arrives at
the door of The Savoy Hotel.

Every year a million kites fill the skies
above Ahmedabad-dueling, soaring,
tumbling and flying high. When a
successful Delhi businessman takes his
daughter on a surprise trip back to his
childhood home for the festival, an entire
family has to confront its own fractured
past and fragile dreams. Music and
fireworks, food and laughter, a
kaleidoscope of color and light, the
magic of the kite flying high - a
traditional recipe of healing and renewal.
With naturalistic performances from
actors and non-actors alike, bold, lyrical
editing, vibrant cinematography and a
kinetic score, THE KITE delights the
senses and nourishes the spirit.

Though centuries have passed by, though
relationships and love have blossomed,
no one can give the definitive answer to
this question. Without trying to embrace
the unembraceable, a provocative
documentary from the creators of the
award-winning “Great Mystery of
C A N N E S M AY 2 0 1 1
Water” brings together the latest findings
on this matter in biology, anthropology,
physics and neuroscience, as well as
seeking the opinions of leading
authorities on the written word,
cinematography, art and religion. Filmed
in four continents, “Love” proves that
the emotion is as vital for humans as
water and food. A challenging study of
MRI brain scans by world-renowned
scientists explains why love is so
powerful, and why being rejected is so
painful. The documentary unlocks the
physiological secrets behind why we feel
what we do when we fall in love, and
why romantic love is not really an
emotion. Most amazing, though, is the
notion that you cannot make a person
love, an opinion shared by all those
interviewed – religious believers,
agnostics and atheists alike. They all

MYSTERY OF DEATH
Language: Russian
Director: Anastasia Popova
Writer: Marina Bandilenko, Saida
Medvedeva
Key Cast: Sergey Chonishvili, Dmitrii
Polonsky, Marina Daynovets
This question has perplexed mankind
throughout the ages. Little has changed
since Plato’s proclamation in the fourth
century BC: “To fear death is nothing
else but to take credit for wisdom which
one does not possess, that is to have too
high an opinion of oneself that one
knows something that he actually does
not know. No one knows whether death,
which people fear to be the greatest evil,
may not be the greatest good”. This
insightful documentary from the creators
of the awardwinning “Great Mystery of
Water” seeks to give an unobtrusive
answer to the issue of death, drawing on
opinions of leading scientists from
around the globe, including Nobel Prize
laureates, practicing medics,
philosophers and religious figures.
Filmed in Europe, the US, Japan, Russia
and the Middle East, the interviews are
skilfully interwoven with historical
reconstructions and scientific
experiments. This thought-provoking
film delivers some striking findings,
such as the reason why those who die “in
loving arms” or who are in love go to
“the other side” much more easily than
those who are not so blessed.

arrives at the Mendoza, Argentina, to

unusual happens: he loses his palate.
Charlie needs to recover it. In the search
of a solution for his problem, he has
decisive encounters with the most
important people of the wine world, like
Michel Rolland, who thinks that he has
to “wash” his palate with the best wines
of the region. Charlie starts a journey
from huge wineries through small
vineyards and wine harvest’s processions
getting closer with the people of the

becomes a return, getting away from that
glamorous world where he thinks he
belongs. It turns into a new journey
towards his essence, his loved ones, his
pains and real ghosts. “The ways of the
wine” oscillates with cruelty between

who got lost because of his desire of
belonging to a world, other than his own.

ALL YOUR DEAD (TODOS TUS
MUERTOS)
Drama / Comedy (88 min.)
Language: Spanish
Director: Carlos Moreno
Key Cast: Alvaro Rodriguez
In this eerie and fantastically shot
tragicomic satire, an ordinary farmer's
morning routine is interrupted when he
makes a grim discovery in the middle of
his cornfield—a huge pile of dead
bodies. Aghast, he reports the mysterious
massacre on what happens to be Election
Day. When the small-town mayor and
police lieutenant take notice, fearful of
unleashing a public scandal, they stall
and intimidate the farmer and his family.
Meanwhile, the sun beats down, and the
eerie corpses remain, refusing to be
ignored. All Your Dead Ones unspools a
disquieting allegory, a silent indictment
of Colombia's ongoing civil war. The
imagery and sound, crafted with
unsettling intensity, illustrate a
frightening crisis of social conscience.
Tinged with mordant surrealism, director
Carlos Moreno's return to Sundance
(Perro Come Perro screened at the 2008
Sundance Film Festival) demonstrates a
rare ability to transcend genre and a
remarkable storytelling vigor, anchored
within a haunting and arresting visual
motif.

Negus, Chale, Sapo, and Chata are
teenagers living in Mexico's Guerrero
colony. Friends since childhood, they
have too much time on their hands and
spend most of it drowning their problems
in a constant haze of marijuana, lusting
after the opposite sex, and hanging out at
skate parks, graffiti hot spots, and hiphop jam sessions. One day, inspired by
the pain of empty pockets and the crush
against the gritty boundary between
adolescence and adulthood, the foursome
have a massive brainstorm that will solve
all of their problems—they decide to rob
the local cinema. Each finds his or her
reason to go ahead with the caper,
unaware that the ordeal may threaten the
only thing they have—their friendship.
The Cinema Hold Up is a vibrant,
authentic, and wonderfully observed
portrait of the tempo and texture of
today's Mexican youth culture. First-time
feature director Iria Gómez Concheiro
draws pitch-perfect performances from
the talented ensemble cast and registers a
strong and original voice in Mexican
cinema.

Language: Swedish

Writer: Antonia Pyk

Key Cast: Hans-Erik Dyvik Husby,
Malin Crépin, Helena af Sandeberg,
David Dencik, Johan Glans
CORNELIS is a biographical music film
chronicling the life of Cornelis
Vreeswijk – a life unlike any other. A
hard life which started anew as many
times as it collapsed. A life lived in
euphoria and in darkness. It is the film
about one man’s constant search, restless
need to express himself, and enigmatic
contradictions. The shy, bourgeois man
who becomes a womanizer, a national
ruffian, banned from the radio. The
social worker with writer’s dreams who
becomes a musician. The people’s Poet
Laureate who never got his Swedish
citizenship. The penniless tax evader.
Crucified in the press for his reluctance
to conform. Loved on stage for just that.
Everybody’s friend, but nobody’s
confidante.

days to her job with a Boston-based
financial management firm. At night she
goes home to her adoring, recentlydownsized architect husband Richard
(Kinnear) and their two young children.
It's a non-stop balancing act, the same

and that Kate's super-brainy, childphobic young junior associate Momo
(Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid.
When Kate gets handed a major new
account that will require frequent trips to
New York, Richard also wins the new
job he's been hoping for-and both will be
spreading themselves even thinner.
Complicating matters is Kate's charming

They're a trio. Franck and Helene,
married with two children (5 and 7) and
Max - alone, though not by choice.
Three inseparable childhood friends.
Franck's been a welder since he was 16.
Twenty years later, like thousands of
other workers, like their families, like
Helene, he lives in fear of restructuring
at the factory. As for Max, he couldn't
give a damn about that or anything else.
When he was made redundant two years
ago, he lost everything - his wife, his
son, his house and his so-called friends,
the other workers... Only Franck and
Hélène stuck by him, unswervingly
loyal. Without them, he'd have nothing.
One Friday at the factory, Franck
overhears a conversation that leaves him
devastated... all the machines are to be
dismantled on the quiet and removed by
truck before the end of the weekend. Full
of rage, Franck broods furiously, torn
between robbing the factory safe and
warning his co-workers about what is
being planned. He makes his decision before anything else, he'll talk to Max....

BRODIE SANGSTER
A curse is just a blessing misunderstood.
James Furlong is the last in a long line of
Furlongs, each blessed or cursed with a
supernatural power. Growing up in rural
Ireland, the boy begins to experiment,
longing to discover some extraordinary,
hidden ability. But instead, his
experiments lead to the death of his
family's livestock, followed swiftly by
the loss of his father and beloved
grandmother. By the time he's 10, James
is the sole surviving Furlong. James is
sent to a reformatory. An outcast, he is
bullied mercilessly. Following a cruel
attack by the other boys, a mysterious
illness sweeps through the reformatory.
Finally understanding the terrible
destructive nature of his powers, James
flees. Years pass. On the run from
hospital where she is being treated for
cancer, Mae, 19, comes across James in
his isolated cottage deep in the woods.
He is terrified of harming her, but Mae
has already resigned herself to her fate
and is afraid of very little - certainly not
of this gentle, innocent stranger. Even
when she learns his story, she is
unafraid, and urges him to leave his
lonely life, to return to the world. They
embark on a passionate romance that
leads James on a journey back to
civilization, and sets him on a collision
course with Liam, sole survivor of the
reformatory tragedy. Bent on vengeance,
Liam confronts James with the violence
of his past, but through Mae, James also
uncovers the full extent of his abilities
and the redemptive power of love.
